Comparing the Halogen Bond to the Hydrogen Bond by Solid‐State NMR Spectroscopy: Anion Coordinated Dimers from 2‐ and 3‐Iodoethynylpyridine Salts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Halogen bonding is an increasingly important tool in crystal engineering, and measuring its influence on the local chemical and electronic environment is necessary to fully understand this interaction. Here, we present a systematic crystallographic and solid‐state NMR study of self‐complementary halogen‐bonded frameworks built from the halide salts (HCl, HBr, HI, HI 3 ) of 2‐iodoethynylpyridine and 3‐iodoethynylpyridine. A series of single crystal X‐ray structures reveals the formation of discrete charged dimers in the solid state, directed by simultaneous X − ⋅⋅⋅H−N + hydrogen bonds and C−I⋅⋅⋅X − halogen bonds (X=Cl, Br, I). Each compound was studied using multinuclear solid‐state magnetic resonance spectroscopy, observing 1 H to investigate the hydrogen bonds and 13 C, 35 Cl, and 79/81 Br to investigate the halogen bonds. A natural localized molecular orbital analysis was employed to help interpret the experimental results. 1 H SSNMR spectroscopy reveals a decrease in the chemical shift of the proton participating in the hydrogen bond as the halogen increases in size, whereas the 13 C SSNMR reveals an increased 13 C chemical shift of the C−I carbon for C−I⋅⋅⋅X − relative to C−I⋅⋅⋅N halogen bonds. Additionally, 35 Cl and 79/81 Br SSNMR, along with computational results, have allowed us to compare the C−I⋅⋅⋅X − halogen bond involving each halide in terms of NMR observables. Due to the isostructural nature of these compounds, they are ideal cases for experimentally assessing the impact of different halogen bond acceptors on the solid‐state NMR response.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
